Exactly that, wishful thinking. Wanting something you know will never happen but you refuse to accept it will never happen so you keep on wishing.

Not sure I know what you mean. The tag between the "Twitvid" and "Youtube" buttons gives that banner, and allows us to do something like this.

I think Hasbro should do a G2 Devastator, in both Yellow and Orange, and sell the bots individually, so I can match my G2 Devy on my shelf, which is all yellow except for an orange Mixmaster.

See how my text on G2 Devy is sandwiched in the banner?

Also, I wonder what Twitvid does... Perhaps it adds Mystery Science Theater 300 commenting to a reviewer's video, really making them look like twits? #ThisOldFogeyDoesntBelieveInTwitter

It's funny, in hindsight, that most of those things have now seen update/release

We got a Voyager Hot Spot, we're getting a G2 Menasor, we got a Deluxe Arcee, we got a Masterpiece Marlboor/Exhaust, we got a blue Masterpiece Bluestreak, we got better versions of the 2003 Unicron mold, we got Oilmaster and I'm betting we'll see a G2 Defensor soon.

Does part of the SDCC box become a type of diorama? The inside of this package looks like it but no video reviewers show this off if it in fact does. Someone please weigh in, much thanks! :VEHI:

I think it's supposed to represent this version of Devy

Since I'm getting the UW Devy, if they release a G2 version, I'm not getting it.

Asia only special offer (Taiwan mainly). Official decal detail enhancement sheets.

Is it the same thing as the Reprolabels?

Any ways to have that official sheet?

I believe it is similar to the Ocean Decals set I posted for the MP line. Official franchised for Asia only. Reprolabels are 3rd Party independent.

This time, you need to actually buy Devs for the decals unlike the Superion/Menasor ones which required you to purchase a certain "amount" of CW line figures.

So your only hope is to get one online (i.e. ebay)

Those look nice.

I'm thinking about the Reprolabels set. I prefer some of the official ones to the repro set.

I too am wondering this.

EDIT: I see fenrir's answer above.

Had a 20% coupon and found Hasbro's version of Dev at TRU when it first came out. My impatience and the cost savings got the best of me. Plus, a long pre-order gives my wife too much time to talk me out of spending that much on a toy, much easier to just buy it now and ask for forgiveness later.

Nah, you just have to spend twice as much so you both get a new "toy".

Women all over the world. They always be the one to ask us to get rid of our collections or to hold off our purchases.but when it comes to buying them a bag or a pair of shoes........ 8-}

Yup, thats what i do. Whenever she asks me is a toy is new I simply go "hey remember those expensive jeans you asked me for, which I got you?" She leaves me alone after that.

Well, we guys get called indifferent, childish or slobs. Ain't it the truth?

Heck, I once sold a SoC to a fellow Physician friend of mine........who was deathly afraid of his better half that despite paying me already in full and I was revin' to dispose of the product, waited a full month at picking the item up.

It isn't disparaging our sister collectors but who among you would deny such incidents never occur?

I didn't like the direction this conversation was going either. I've got a few years of marriage under my belt; respect and compromise are key to a happy and successful relationship.

It is nice to have someone to keep my toy "budget" in check.

Funny thing: My mom tries to slow me down but she's the one who saw the first 2007 movie commercial and decided that it was worth going since she watched the original series and recognized Optimus, and my girlfriend has actually been converted! She actually has autobot shirts now and she even bought herself a figure. Money is understood, but both my girlfriend and I do try to stay money tight. I still buy her stuff before my transformers.

sorry to throw things off course guys and gals

Btw has anyone seen any more in-hand images of UW Devastator lately?

This isn't really a human styled relationship in all the stuff we may do. Besides, Hasbro gave them the green light and they fully approved of the original Rewind's last message say "I love you".

AS for the avatars: it reflects their personalities and is purely artistic license. I love Cyclonus' avatar: he is a teacher of old of sorts, and others too have good ones. just because you are male does not mean you need a male avatar

Wait I'm confused, where the avatars actually them? Or where they just human representations of their characters? I'm kinda lost...
